Project SAGE epitomizes the New England spirit through their efforts to offer services free of charge, and with total confidentiality, to those in need of support. It is a good example of neighbor helping neighbor, fueled only by the power of giving. My daughter, Elyse Harney Morris, and I look forward to our involvement each year as sponsors of Trade Secrets, and through Elyse’s efforts with the Project SAGE Underwriting Committee – she, most enjoyably, is an early morning greeter who loves the excitement and energy of the early birds, and I am a happy buyer!
